Illinois Libraries Present

With over 200 public libraries across Illinois, we bring you high-quality online events featuring national names and focus on social justice and DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) issues. Illinois Libraries Present (ILP) is a Member based initiative of the Illinois Library Association and a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering premier events.

These events are made possible by Illinois Libraries Present, a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering premier events. ILP is funded in part by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library, a department of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).


Illinois Libraries Present will return in the fall for Season 6.
